Snap to angle.

[RussU]

Hi everyone,

I can't replicate it, but once it happens in a file, that file is stuck with it.

 

Whether I have snap to angle on or off, I can only snap vertically or horizontally. This is true with callouts, rotates, mirror etc... not just the line tool.

I can't do 30, 45 or 60 any more... Any ideas what I've done?

 

Thanks

Perfect answer. Thank you!

 

I must have had a shortcut that disabled it.

@RussU - I actually find my angle snaps randomly turned off all the time. I don't mean that the "Snap to Angle" button is turned off - that is indeed on. But rather, the "Angles from Axes" option under Settings has unchecked itself, leaving me with only 90° snaps. So I think there's some sort of bug related to this. I feel like someone brought it up on these forums once before, and there was a hypothesis that the reset was related to when the program crashes. But I'm not sure...

@Andy BroomellI can say that I've crashed here and there, so it is possible.

 

ill keep an eye on it and report back. interesting thought.
